PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

 THE AMERICAN CREED   by William Tyler Page

I believe in the United States of American as a government of the people, for the people, by the people, and for the people, whose just powers are derived from the consent of the government; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable, established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.

PREAMBLE TO THE CONSTITUTION

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution of the United States of America. 
 

 CAR CREED

I believe in the Children of the American Revolution as an organization for the training of young people in true patriotism and love of country, in order that they shall be better fitted for American citizenship.

As a descendant of the Founders of my Country, I believe that my birthright brings a responsibility to carry on their work, and that as the boys and girls of 1776 took an active part in the War for Independence, so the boys and girls of today have a definite work to do for their Country.

As a member of the Children of the American Revolution, I believe it is my duty to use my influence to create a deeper love of country, a loyal respect for its Constitution and reverence for its Flag among the young people with whom I come in contact.

PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO C.A.R.          by Jane Keegan

I pledge on my honor to remember C.A.R. exists for the members to do my job as an integral part of the team; to be kind and encouraging in all my dealings; to be a positive role model and mentor to all members and adults; to leave the organization better and stronger for my efforts.
